I would create the member account and folder anyway, even he/she wouldn't
log in. Then I'd create the role "Updater", with reviewer-like permissions,
and assing it to defined members on a per-member folder basis. This way you
can ensure the author that only one known person will perform the upload, if
that makes sense in the context of your needs. Later, when authors log in,
they will be able to edit the objects found in their folders, even they are
owned by the uploaders.

To handle searchs by authors name properly, I'd encourage you to create an
extra portal metadata element to reference them, so that when the uploader
creates the article, the real author's name will get indexed anyway. You'll
apreciate this when you need to audit your content workflow.
